Great pants

Rating:*****

I live at 8000 feet in the rockies. These pants are the bomb. Skiing cross country and snowshoeing I use them as an outer and only layer. They are never too much pant because they zip from the waist to allow you to vent them. Also awesome under my gore tex shell pants for on the mountain, super warm, and if you heat up during a hike, you just unzip them to allow cooling(provided you outer layer has the same feature). Great for backpacking or hiking when the temp drops and the wind and snow start blowing. No need to remove your boots to put them on since they zip all the way on/off. 1/2 drawstring on the front is handy when you are wearing a pack. Quality is as to be expected from MH. They are my go to pant or first layer from October to April and beyond.

"made a great initial impression have yet to test them"

Rating:*****
I am 6'6 220lbs and my normal pants size is 36 for the waist. Despite the chart saying I should get a large, I got a XL to get the extra length and it worked out perfect. Waist isn't even big on me. fits fine. Doesn't seem too bulky for having some insulation. If you pinch it between your fingers it compresses to feel paper thin. The packing bag they came with is 12x5x4 or so. Still have yet to use them and it will be a while since I just broke my hand.......

Great for the money

Rating:****
Supa dope!! great price bought it here for even a better price.The fit is better then patagonia micro puff pants,its a bit long in the leg,no worries velcro cinch makes it irie.The waist cinch sucks,would be much better with a built in belt.Its a great pant for the price even if its not on sale.

Synthetic Down

Rating:*****
Another excellent Hardwear product! The weight, design & construction are right on the money. The full zips aid in quick entry & exit. The fit is accurate to the sizing chart. Wear this under the Beryllium bib or GTX 2.5 pants and you will stay comfy.
